"To live, you must bare your teeth to agony." -To Feel Everything and Nothing To Feel Everything and Nothing is a raw and honest poetry collection that stares into the hollow eyes of grief. It is written by a human trafficking survivor and explores themes of trauma, grief, loss, and faith. The author's healing journey is fraught with deep loss, profound revelations, and, ultimately, freedom from the chains of memory. "All I want to do is scream. I want to scream until my voice cracks and my lips bleed, then maybe I will feel something. I want to scream until I recognize the sound of my voice and not this unfamiliar noise that proceeds out of my mouth every time you drop a penny for my thoughts. I want to scream like a hiker who has reached the peak of her journey. I want to remind myself that I am alive. I want to disturb the world with the announcement of my existence. I want to scream, but every time I open my mouth, I am met with the sound of my lungs struggling to remember how to breathe."

Autorenporträt
Laurina Sellu is a writer, therapist, advocate and mentor for teen trafficking survivors in Texas. Originally from Liberia, Laurina was trafficked by relatives upon her emigration to the United States with her mother. While attending Texas A&M University, she worked to call attention to the different types of trafficking and its dangers to young people and assisted the Texas Coastal Bend Border Region Human Trafficking Task Force in various projects. Laurina has suffered several losses in recent years, including the deaths of her parents a few weeks apart. However, she refuses to be deterred from hope, stating, "if there's so much evil in the world, there must be so much good." She is often found shouting, "yay Jesus!" every time something good happens because she believes Jesus is her lifeline and her greatest source of inspiration. When she is not writing, Laurina enjoys spontaneous adventures, getting lost between the pages of a new book, pretending to be good at painting, going on nature walks with her dog Arlo, and tasting new foods in different parts of the world.
